Premium Seasoned Octopus Chuka Idako | Halal Frozen Baby Octopus | 500g or 2kg

Seasoned Octopus Chuka Idako — Halal Frozen Baby Octopus

Small in size, enormous in flavour — Chuka Idako (中華イダコ) is Japan’s beloved seasoned baby octopus, marinated in a savoury-sweet soy-based sauce that delivers a rich, umami-packed bite in every mouthful. These tender whole baby octopuses are pre-cooked and fully seasoned, making them one of the most convenient and versatile Japanese seafood ingredients you can stock.

Our Chuka Idako is Halal certified and sourced from trusted supplier Kanika, flash-frozen to preserve the glossy, deeply flavoured marinade and the characteristic tender-yet-springy texture that makes this ingredient so irresistible.
